CHIP8Emulator

This is my take on the CHIP-8 emulator written in C#

What is CHIP-8

CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers in the mid-1970s. CHIP-8 programs are run on a CHIP-8 virtual machine. It was made to allow video games to be more easily programmed for said computers. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP-8

Features

Projects in the solution

  • CHIP8Emulator: This project contains the emulator infrastructure
  • CHIP8Library: this is the CHIP-8 emulator itself
  • CHIP8EmulatorTestApp: I have tested various features of the lib in this console app
